According to information published by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, Germany has made it easier to get a blue residence card by changing some of the main rules. Blue card or blue card It is a special card for the residence of skilled workers in all European Union (EU) countries.
Blue Card is awarded only to people who are not citizens of the EU countries, but because of having high experience in various fields or having appropriate education, they can help the countries of this Union in various fields.
People who have Blue Card can live and work in EU countries. Currently, all the countries that are part of the EU provide such a special card to the applicants, and Germany is one of these countries, although it should be said that Denmark and Ireland have not yet made a specific decision about Bluecard.
The first important change to facilitate the process of obtaining a blue card is the reduction of the minimum salary of each person. In the past, the minimum salary of each Blue Card applicant was fifty-six thousand and four hundred euros per year. By making new changes, this amount to Forty three thousand nine hundred euros decreased. This great change will make it easier for many people to apply for a blue card. This happens while the minimum wage in Germany is lower than in other European countries.
Another thing that makes the process of getting a blue card easier for foreign immigrants in Germany is that there is no need to fully learn the German language. Until now, all those interested in receiving a Blue Card had to present valid and up-to-date documents to prove their ability to speak German. In fact, all these people should have at least B-1 level (B1) were learning the German language.
This restriction on familiarity with the German language has been removed in general so that even people who do not have a B1 German language level can also submit their request to receive a Blue Card, and an issue such as language will no longer create unfavorable conditions for applicants.
In addition to the mentioned cases, we see another new change in the Blue Card rules, which has changed the condition of having a high history in a suitable way. In other words, it is not necessary for Blue Card applicants to have several years of experience in their field of work or study. This is especially important for young people who have recently graduated and are planning to enter the German labor market.
According to the new announced rules, it can be said that now the process of getting a blue card is easy. Probably, in the coming months, we will see a significant increase in the number of people who plan to take measures to obtain a blue card and work permit in various European Union countries, including Germany. We have to wait and see if more changes will be made to make the process of obtaining a German Blue Card easier or not.
